Advantages: No need for a vent. Dries laundry well and has a sensor.
Disadvantages: Generates a lot of heat. Not the most compact model in the world.

...’t had it long enough to have to repair it yet, but the service we’ve had from Creda in the past has been good, so we should be ok there too. If you are after a tumble dryer and have not considered a condenser one before then you can’t do wrong by looking at this one. ~~If you need any info on this or any other Creda products go to http://www.creda.co.uk/creda/home.htm ~ there’s a link to the Customer Service Centre. ~~If you want to buy anything from unbeatable.com go to www.unbeatable.com...

Advantages: Easy to use, looks good, wont break the bank
Disadvantages: none

...The T520 VW is a great tumble dryer. It is incredibly easy to use, with only one button and one "clock like" dial. The single button is used to select low or high heat.....and the rotating "clock like" dial to select the time desired for drying. ( Time goes from 0 to 120 mins). It is quiet, and has a reasonably large capacity and also boasts an "anti-tangle"claim. The white plastic fascia near the top of the dryer that houses the button and dial hasn't appeared to have discoloured over time....(unlike our washing machine which we've had for the same amount of time), and with the word "simplicity" embellished next to the creda logo, it really does sum up this item for itself. Simple to use, reasonably modern looking, won't discolour, and would easily fit into anyones kitchen or utility room or anywhere around the house for that matter... Read review

Advantages: Condenser , easy to clean and maintain. No vents required
Disadvantages: Water holder cover door can break easily,

...We purchased this tumble dryer about 2 years ago. It is used up to three times a day and has been a great tumble dryer. We do a lot of washing (4 kids) and wanted to use the dryer both over night and during the day. We didn't want to leave windows open for the vent, so we decided to purchase a more expensive condensing machine. It runs for upto 120 mins, with a final 'cool tumble' for 10 mins. This seems to help with the ironing. There are two heat setting, high and low. We tend to leave ours on 'high' all the time. There is an anti tangle feature which seems to work quite well, except with quilt covers... The filters are easily removed for cleaning. The water drum is located at the bottom behind a plastic removable cover. Our old washing machine was only a 1000 spin speed, so we had to empty the drum almost every tumble load. We... Read review

Advantages: It dries wet washing!
Disadvantages: The reverse tumble doesn't work on everything

...First, let me say that this dryer was not my personal choice. Our last reverse tumble dryer was made by Service, and we had it for a few years before it died. Then we bought another dryer which was so unmemorable, I can’t for the life of me remember what it was. Anyway, that packed up 2 years ago but the cost of replacing it with another Service model was too expensive and anyway our local Hydro Board didn’t have any in stock. With our son and his wife coming to live with us temporarily, we were in urgent need! I turned my back for 5 minutes and my husband popped into our local Hydro Board and bought the Creda Simplicity Condenser Dryer. ♥ LOOKS It’s a smooth-looking operator. Slightly rounded front rather than a straight up and down cube. Height: 33.5” (770mm) Width: 23” (580mm) (The centimeters I got... Read review

Advantages: long lasting, fast dryer, small, nice colour:white, user-friendly
Disadvantages: Not a top model, and quite old

...Creda are known to produce quality tumble dryers and over years, their designs have improved, but the overall drying power is the same in everyone of their dryers. Try it, the creda tumble dryer. I've had it for more than 6 years now, no problems what so ever. Quite easy to use and user-friendly, small, compact and has wheels at the bottom to move it easily from places. The best thing about the dryer is, its so small, it will fit in a corner unnoticeable. Its quite portable. It can dry a bundle of clothes within 30 mins. And its not even that noisy aswell I remember when I was young, I used to dry all my clothes in the dryer just so that I can sit in front of the dryer and feel the nice breeze of heat on my face, this heat is produced by the dryer when clothes are drying. You know when you want to go to a party that you... Read review

Advantages: No hose to vent, warms up house!
Disadvantages: Noise, running cost.

...We were bought this tumble dryer as a moving in gift for our new house, finally having space to put a tumble dryer. We went for the condenser type because there is no need for a vent to the out side, which up here in the north west of Scotland is the last thing you want during a winter gale, believe me! OPERATION.. The controls for the dryer are easy to understand and operate, the timer is settable up to 120 mins and is clearly marked. The heat setting is a 'push in/out' type with two options, low or high. There is a light that comes on when you need to empty the water bottle, but more about that latter on. The instruction book is fairly good, but i didnt pay to much attention to it. INSTALLATION.. The dryer is quite heavy and i would advise you to sweet talk who ever delivers it to your home into getting it as close... Read review

Advantages: effective & quick, does not harm clothes, looks good & is power efficient
Disadvantages: Costs £160 & is noisy

...We bought this machine around 3 months back though I was reluctant in the start, it was mommy who insisted on buying one for the house. Initially the amount seemed like a pain in the a** but I slowly started to like the Creda Dryer. Looks good & is quite elegant with the metallic finish & the controls too make a long lasting impression on the onlooker . I would say it is much of a treat for the eye than for the pocket. But no harm since it does the job well for the purpose its lying in my house & as long as the electricity bills aren't a pain in the a** I guess this thing's gonna stay for quite some time with us. It dries the clothes well without damaging the fabric & it does not induce any external odour or bring about any change in the texture or colour or delicacy & it doesn't over dry it too. As you see overdrying clothes... Read review

Advantages: Nice looking, well priced and you dont need to iron some clothes
Disadvantages: can tak eup kitchen space when not in use

...Please excuse the awful headline but at the moment I have piles of washing on my kitchen floor and it is raining!!! Don't envy me huh? I prefer to hang my washed clothes outside on the line especially when there is a slight wind because the clothes feel and smell so fresh. Unfortunately during the winter months this is not possible but on milder winter days I can put them outside for a while and then bring them in and hang them on my indoor drying rail, making the kitchen smell nice and fresh too. Most of the time during winter I use a tumble dryer. They are very useful things especially on wet days and when you need those clothes dried quickly. They can take up kitchen space but some people are lucky enough to have utility rooms or even room in their garages to keep them. The make of mine is a Creda. In fact my last 2... Read review
